DS won’t stop intentionally farting

[Anonymous]

He's 12. This is a phase that will pass quicker if you ignore it.

Also, if he's generally impulsive and this is impacting his work and relationships, he could have ADHD.

Sounds like it's time for you to one up him and show him who's boss. Let one rip.

To each their own, my family freely farts around each other. I mean, not at the dinner table, but if any one of lets one rip, we laugh and move on. Don't worry, we don't do it around company though.

This would be my solution as a mom. I can rip a good one when the stars are aligned.

Obviousy there are trashy people that think this is funny or wouldn't be bothered. That doesn't matter. It bother you and you are the parent in the house. I would sit him down and explain that it is very rude to intentionally pass gas in front of others and that you expect him to go to the bathroom or his room if he needs to pass gas. And if he doesn't apply consequences until he can demonstrate a base level of manners.

Drink beer, eat a hamburger, have something pickled and let it go...in front of his friends.

Seriously, he's rude and gross but enjoys getting a reaction. Stop giving it to him. Ignore.

Anyone who doesn't think farts are funny has a lot less laughter in their life, but exactly the same amount of farts.

You sound fun at parties. Sure, I'm trashy, but if you met me in real life, you'd think I was uptight and shy and polite. Still going to joke around about farting in the privacy of my home with my college educated family, some of whom might be your pediatrician or veterinarian.

We do have fun, I'll say that.

Are you my 80 year old aunt Gertrude? You going to slap my arms if my elbows touch the table while eating?

If you think finding farting is funny is what makes someone fun at parties...well I am glad we must frequent different parties.

Do you always engage in such black and white thinking? You think people either must find farting hilarious or be 80 years old Gertrudes? You don't see an in between? Wow, limited world view there.

This. He's looking for a reaction.

The farting is a minor detail.

You know him? My 12 year old daughter is so gassy. Burps and farts. I am going to bring her to the doctor because I think she’s uncomfortable.

My grown brother still farts in public without shame.
